RE: Dunno, but...

Hey that's great!

I can hear the differences between the various levels.

Based on a quick listen to track 1, it does seem like the Sonata1 is more detailed and has more extension than the various other grado combinations - though the Gold + mcz is darn close to it. THe extra $250 is definitely law of diminishing returns (especially since a new stylus is $100-150 and a "retip" on Sonata is about $400-500!) You can really hear the tonal richness compared to all of the non grados, too!

It had a DL-160 there, which is my current cart. The tonality is spot on in the WAV file the guy generated, so I am sure I can understand some of the differences by listening to the other carts.

Was also impressed with the Dynavector 10x5 and 20x - so if I feel the need to grab a spare MC cart ... this would be a great choice, too, esp the 10x5.

THANKS!
